I think DJ wrote something about this last month. I am glad he reminded us again with new developments. These Repubs are not playing. They want to disenfranchise all the black voters that came out last election. As long as black folk were not going to the polls everybody was happy. But soon as they started using their voice it is a problem. We have to wake up and see what they are trying to do to us.

Make no mistake, the right to vote is under siege. We must do all we can to retain our right and to prevent it from being stolen away from us by using that right in EVERY election no matter what. […] – DJ

Hear! Hear! And let the Church say Amen!

Black and brown people had better be fully AWARE of this and young people in particular had better know just what the future holds if they Fail to understand what is going on Today. It’s going to take the overwhelming majority of ALL of Us (Black and brown, young AND older adults) to fight the Evil that now confronts Us.

This is the unfinished business of the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement. WE cannot afford to lose. We must NOT lose.

CNN:

Georgia Republicans have advanced a sweeping bill in the state Senate that further restricts voting — keeping a state that was pivotal to the 2020 elections at the forefront of the GOP backlash against expanded voting.

The expansive package, which passed by a narrow margin Monday, would repeal no-excuse absentee voting for many Georgians — a method 1.3 million of the state’s residents used to cast ballots in last November’s general election. The measure now moves to the Georgia House, which has passed its own slate of proposed voting restrictions.

The developments in Georgia come amid a flurry of activity around the country by Republican-controlled legislatures to make it harder to vote after the GOP lost the presidency and the US Senate majority in the 2020 elections. On Monday, Iowa became one of the first states to enact new restrictions as the Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a new law that makes it harder to vote early.
